Liverpool bring on Berger - they need him. The response is good but the drama has subsided somewhat. This game needs a Liverpool goal. My thoughts exactly, says the ref as he awards a strange, dubious, questionable, precarious, and otherwise suspicious penalty to the home reds this time. Didn't look like a penalty to me, or Bloomquist I'll wager.

Redknapp deposits a lucky one and the game is back on. Liverpool are awesome going forward now and we have twenty minutes or so to watch. It was a siege and it was great. Irwin commits an act of stupidity in kicking the ball away, a relatively harmless action but a bookable offence. The ensuing yellow card just happens to add to his wild tackle yellow received earlier, thus becoming red in colour and ending Denis active participation in the proceedings. The tragedy is he misses the FA Cup Final at Wembley because of this silly kick of a ball but that's another story.

Berger continues to cause trouble and you get a sense that it's only a matter of time before Liverpool convert a chance to tie the game. The Kop just wonders why Liverpool couldn't play like this all season long but at least they're getting value tonight. As if scripted, it's Ince who delivers the killer finish to more good work in the box and the score is 2-2.

What does all this mean? Arsenal have two games left and can possibly reach 81 points. Manchester United have three games left, not counting their two cup finals, and they can also reach 81 points. What then you ask? Well, goals become the deciding factor if they finish level on points and they are incredibly close on this also. As I write the Arsenal goal difference is one superior to Man U. So watch this space, the next 10 days will finally tell the tale, and so will I. You'll never walk alone.
